Anti-Gun Senator Under Fire on Twitter After Statement About Silencers

When it comes to firearms, liberals show how truly ignorant and misinformed they are every day. For a bunch of people who want to remove guns from the American populace, they sure don’t know very much about them.

The latest example of liberal idiocy when it comes to firearms came from New York Democrat Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who went on Twitter to lament how easy it was to get “silencers” for firearms, and how deadly they could be.

“Can you imagine if we allowed a criminal with a gun in New York City to attach a silencer to their weapon? It’d be a dangerous mistake,” she wrote in one tweet.

First off, they are actually called “suppressors,” but we probably shouldn’t expect a doctrinaire liberal like Gillibrand to know that. That would mean she had done some research on the thing she was trying to ban.

“When someone gets shot by a gun with a silencer, it’s quiet. Witnesses might not hear. Police will be less likely to track down the shooter,” she wrote in a second tweet which really revealed how ignorant she is.

Twitter users quickly ripped into Gillibrand, pointing out that Hollywood-style silencers are not the same as what people can buy. In the real world, you can’t just pop a tube onto your handgun and start silently shooting people.

Other users attacked Gillibrand for showing just how little she knows about something she is trying to regulate. Sadly, Gillibrand is representative of liberals in general — always eager to ban things they can’t be bothered to take the time to understand.
